PLANTS O'F SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY. 417 



1880, it was gone, although the tree still remained.* Mr. I. H. 

 Hall recorded a specimen forty feet up on a Red Maple two feet 

 in diameter at the base, growing on the edge of the Pines May 3.. 

 i872.t 



It also grew in 1884 between Trenton and New Brunswick and 

 at Lakewood.l In July, 1891, I found a large bunch, over a foot 

 in diameter, growing on a gum tree {Nyssa sylvatica) below 

 Clementon. 



In the Martindale Herbarium, at the Philadelphia College of 

 Pharmacy, are specimens collected at Kaighn's Point, September, 

 i860; Camden, June 15, 1874; Atco, May, 1878, and Mays 

 Landing, July 4, 1888. 



It still grows on a tree at Fenwick, carefully guarded by the 

 colored people who live close by and make a profit by selling it. 

 It also grows on a certain Red Maple not far from Medford, 

 though it rarely reaches a height of more than one inch. If it 

 grew larger it would, no doubt, suffer the fate of the berry- 

 bearing Holly of the neighborhood and find its way to the street 

 corners of Philadelphia at Christmas time. 



In the central Mississippi Valley the Mistletoe is regularly 

 killed off by severe winters, but several mild seasons will restore 

 it to its former abundance. 



In that neighborhood, and doubtless in New Jersey as well, 

 it blooms September 15— October 25, while the fruit matures 

 during November of the following year, remaining on ithe 

 branches well through the winter. §
